NOBODY then knew we had a scope issue. Was anyone talking about it? IDK, I'm pretty up to speed with these forums and I attend nearly every ALPA event I can. I don't recall this scope problem being mentioned.
Now, go on and whine to the forum that ALPA should have seen this coming! (face palm).
What else should they see coming?
HOW ABOUT YOU attend your next LEC meeting and YOU introduce a motion to direct the MEC to examine scope and to develop language for our CBA to protect fifth freedom flying instead of blaming "the union" to which you're a member of instead of blasting ALPA here?
Scope was number 2 for me during the survey. And yes I’ll admit a couple older captains educated me on the importance of scope while hanging out at Duke’s in HNL.
